Let's ALL Worry About Our Make-Up

It's funny when I intentionally put on make-up like eye shadow.  I think that I look like I have make-up on.  I obviously must be playing grown up.  But that's just me-- I love how people look who really enhance their beauty with carefully applied make-up.  That just isn't one of my strengths!  That zombie look is easy for me to achieve.

hahahahahahahah

It's always bizarre when I hear women talking about other people who DON'T wear make-up.

Folks, welcome to 2013.  Don't impose your values on me.

Remember that lipstick from the 1060's called Tangerine?  Oooooooooo, it was the rage in junior high. Bad idea:  it's not cool on a sixty year old.  It would look more natural if I went around wearing those parafin lips.

It's not the make-up on the outside that we need to worry about-- it's the "MAKE UP" on the inside that we need focus on.

Someone asked me if I had a big head now that I worked "downtown."  "No, I don't think I do," I replied.  "I am consistently amazed at how hard some people work.  I am also amazed at those who think they are owed a paycheck for not doing anything throughout the system." NOTE:  I am beginning to know who you are.

If I start acting like a know-it-all, please knock me up the side of the head with a Bible.

As I have been moving throughout the county,  I have intentionally NOT worn my name badge.  I want all of us to be treated equally.  I don't want special privileges.  I want to hear the tone of voice adults use with each other and with their students.  I want to hear the students' tone when talking to the teachers.

*********************

I was asked in a very snotty tone with a sneer, "What exactly are you doing at our school?"  The person then turned their back on me.

"I'm the kindness police, " I sweetly said.

The person turned quickly back around as I was putting on my badge.

Shazam!  Behavior modification at it's finest!


*********************

The big question is the definition of "help".  For those of you that have worked with me before, you have heard me use the phrase, "I want to help everyone be successful."  For some of us, it might be changing seats on the bus.  For some, it might be getting off the bus.  For others, it might be learning how to drive the bus.  Some folks don't even know there is a bus-- God bless their little hearts.

*********************

It's the make-up inside of us.  Values, hopes, dreams, beliefs, work ethic...... It's not the make-up on the outside of us!

Proverbs 10:4

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

2 Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."

Pretty is as pretty does, as granny used to say!
